Architecture Details

Entry Points

Web Routes (routes/web.php) - Main application routes with authentication middleware
API Routes (routes/api.php) - RESTful API endpoints with Sanctum authentication
Artisan Commands - CLI interface for Laravel operations

Key Modules and Responsibilities

DashboardController - Main dashboard and analytics views
DataFeedController - API endpoint for chart data
User Model - Authentication and user management
DataFeed Model - Dashboard data management and visualization

Data Model / Schema

Users Table:

id, name, email, email_verified_at, password, remember_token
current_team_id, profile_photo_path, timestamps

DataFeeds Table:

id, label, data, dataset_name, data_type, timestamps

Error Handling & Logging

Laravel's built-in exception handling via app/Exceptions/Handler.php
Structured logging configuration in config/logging.php
Error pages for 404 and other HTTP errors

Configuration

Configuration is loaded from environment variables with fallbacks defined in config files:

.env file for local development
Config precedence: Environment → Config files → Defaults

Security

Authentication: Laravel Fortify with two-factor authentication
Authorization: Laravel Jetstream with team management
API Security: Laravel Sanctum for API token authentication
CSRF Protection: Built-in CSRF middleware
Password Security: Bcrypt hashing with configurable rounds
Session Security: Encrypted cookies and secure session handling

Performance Considerations

Caching: Redis support configured for sessions and cache
Asset Optimization: Vite for optimized frontend builds
Database: Query optimization with Eloquent ORM
Frontend: Alpine.js for lightweight interactivity

Scalability

Stateless Design: Session-based authentication with database storage
Horizontal Scaling: Redis for shared session storage
Database: Support for multiple database connections
Queue System: Laravel queue support for background jobs

Secrets Management

Local Development: Use .env file (excluded from version control)
Production: Set environment variables in hosting platform
CI/CD: Use GitHub Actions secrets or similar platform secrets management

Local Development

Prerequisites

PHP 8.1 or higher
Composer
Node.js 20.x or higher
npm or yarn
MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLite
Git

Setup

# Clone repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd Remark_Admin_Panel

# Install PHP dependencies
composer install

# Install Node.js dependencies
npm install

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env file with your database and mail settings

# Generate application key
php artisan key:generate

# Run database migrations
php artisan migrate

# Seed database with sample data
php artisan db:seed

# Build frontend assets
npm run build

# Start development server
php artisan serve

Running Tests

# Run all tests
php artisan test

# Run specific test suite
php artisan test --testsuite=Feature
php artisan test --testsuite=Unit

# Run with coverage
php artisan test --coverage

Linting and Formatting

# Fix code style issues
./vendor/bin/pint

# Check code style
./vendor/bin/pint --test

Common Pitfalls

Port Conflicts: Default Laravel server runs on port 8000
Database Migrations: Ensure database is created before running migrations
Asset Compilation: Run npm run build after pulling changes
Environment Variables: Always copy .env.example to .env and configure

Build & Deployment

Build Artifacts

Frontend Assets: Compiled CSS/JS via Vite
Application Code: PHP application files
Database: Migration files and seeders

Docker / Compose Usage

Laravel Sail is available for Docker development:

# Start Sail environment
./vendor/bin/sail up -d

# Run commands in Sail
./vendor/bin/sail artisan migrate
./vendor/bin/sail npm run build

CI/CD

No CI/CD configuration found in repository. Recommended setup:

GitHub Actions for automated testing and deployment
Environment-specific deployments (staging, production)
Automated testing on pull requests
Asset compilation and optimization

Rollout & Rollback Procedures

Deployment:

composer install --no-dev --optimize-autoloader
php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache
php artisan view:cache
php artisan migrate --force
npm run build

Rollback:

git checkout previous-commit
composer install --no-dev
php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache
php artisan view:cache

Zero-Downtime Considerations

Use database migrations that are backward compatible
Deploy during low-traffic periods
Consider blue-green deployment for critical updates
Use queue workers for background processing

Versioning Scheme

Laravel: Semantic versioning (^10.10)
Application: Follow semantic versioning for releases
Dependencies: Locked versions in composer.lock and package-lock.json

Configuration Matrix

Profiles

Environment	Database	Cache	Queue	Mail
Local	SQLite/MySQL	File	Sync	Log
Staging	MySQL	Redis	Database	SMTP
Production	MySQL	Redis	Redis	SMTP

Feature Flags
